This looks like a potentially useful oil.
It'll be interesting to see the inevitable VOA/UOA of this new M1 flavor.
I'll agree that few people will buy this oil at the current fifty bucks a jug, but if you actually ran it 20K with a filter capable of that run, cost per mile would come down to a reasonable level even at that price.
OTOH, various UOAs show that M1 EP isn't really a 15K oil in many applications, so it may be that AP isn't a 20K in many cases either.
Either way, we'll see how this oil does in service.
I don't look for this oil to fade away, either. SOPUS, Valvoline and Castrol may introduce and ditch products on a regular basis. XOM doesn't seem to do that with the many flavors of M1.
Watch for the inevitable rollback pricing and MIR as well.
